GOLD is Better THAN pRoss.

Better shoelcss foot in honest pathways
found,
Than one BY wealth protected, on vile, forbid
den ground.
Better gloveless hand, hardened by ceascless
toll,
Than one Of spotless beauty that grasps dis
honest spoils
Better an ill-clad body, with comfort, strength,
and health,
Than one diseased and suffering, with count
less mines Of wealth.
Better low position, with little or no renown
Than to walk in courts of sinners aud wear
regal crown.
Better common toilcr, an heir to wealth above,
Than dwell on earth a monarch, without a
Sayiour's love.

COLLEGE WAR CRIES.
The whoops and the shouts Used by
Different Students.


Different students.
One of the college papers has COM
pile d list and history of college cheers.
According to it the original shouts OF
the colleges were a repetition of the
name of the college. This gave an adj.
vantage to the colleges which had sono-
rous names and as the constant aim of
cheering is to make more noise than
the other cheerers, new yells were
evolved by process of evolution.
These came into existence quarter of
a century ago, when Yale and Harvard
had their boat races on Lake Quins ga
mond, when the 'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah!
thrice repeated was first heard. Har-
ward sounded the 'Rahs full. and added
Harvard pronounced so that the ar
and clipped d were all that were
heard. yale" was added to the New
Haven colleges 'Rabs with a long howl
on the a.
Princeton's cheer was developed soon
after as Princeton came into athletic re-
lations with the other colleges. They
took the three 'Rahs for a basis, and
added the skvrocket iz-boom-ah, which
they hold on to as long as the nine
'Rahs of their opponents hold out and
then yell princeton" as calliope cl-
max. Dartmouth has one OF the most
novel cheers of all. Some Indian must
have invented it. and stout college
lungs gave it the right iEtlatus. 1t is
Wah hoo-wah! Wah-hoo-wah! Diddy,
diddy, Dartmouth! Wah-hoo-wah! 1t
is very picturesque, and only a sopho.
more can Wah-hoo to the best advan-
vantage. The hoo is like human owl s
boot.
Everybody has heard of Columbia's
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! C-o-l-u.m-
b-i-a! The name spells out rithmically.
John Hopkins University at Baltimore
has taken the ground plan Of the cheer
and built upon it, adding J-o- h-n Hop
| k-i-n-s, instead of Col I'm b-i-a. Ste
vens Institute at Hoboken. and Union
College at Schenectady have similar
cheers.
Rutgers has a cheer almost as origin
al as Dartmouth's. 1t is 'Rah! Rah!
Rah! Bow-wow-wow! Rutgers! Viii.
liams has an enhancing and resonant
/ 'Rah Rah! Rail! Willyams! yams!

wild Phi ladelphia cheer without any
special charm. 1t is the three 'Rah:

The Reason WHY.

1t is said 'there's nothing new under the
sum-" and 1t may be true saying. But when
;he light Of reason Is thrown on some Of the
every day occurrences In life, 1t is astonishing
now little we actually know as to the why's
and wherefores of matters which attract our
attention. In the hurly-burly Of this world we
are apt to take for granted facts as they appear,
because we have not time to thoroughly in
gestigate them. The Chicago, Milwaukee q
St. Paul Railway Company has endeavored to
save the enqulring mind the trouble of much
research, and has published In little book
entitled "Why and Wherefore" many reasons
why various facts exist. The language is
plain and simple, and the volume might be
ased with profit as a reliable class book In
public and private schools As household
reference 1t Is invaluable, and children as well
rs grown people can read and understand -
While this publication is in measure an
Advertising medium for the Railway Company,
that fact does not detract from its value, and
copy of"Why and Wherefore" will be sent free
10 any address by enclosing ten cents in post
age to A. V. H. Carpenter, General Passenger
Agent, Milwaukee, Wis.

Logan Was Handy With His
Fists.

He was a scientific sparrer, and not
long ago he sent note to Professor
Collins, boxing master. inviting him
to call at his residence. Collins retired
from the rng several years ago. He
was known as the cast iron man, and
defeated George Rookie, who was the
champion middle-weight of the United
States. Collins called at the Generals
residence. taking pair of boxing
gloves along with him. The general
told him that he was entirely out Of
practice and wished to arrange for n
series of lessons. Finally he saw the
boxing gloves and proposed to take a
lesson then. Collins consented and the
General led the way to n spare room.
The first three rounds were purely for
scientific pc nts, and Collins soon found
out that the General, though out Of
practice, had science enough to absorb
his whole attention. Both men were
pretty we'll winded, and q suggestion
was adopted that they rest ten minutes.
At the conclusion of that time they
came to the scratch for tho wind-up.
Several vicious blows were struck, and
Collins began to bring all science and
skill into play, but the General repeat
edlr got away from him without pun
ishment. Finally Coll ms made des-
perate rush. but unguardedly left an
opening. The General improved it,
and by neat and clever undercut
struck the boxing master terrific blow
on his under jaw which completely
knocked him out. The noise of the
heavy fall alarmed Mrs. Logan. and
she rushed up stairs. only to find the
General holding Collins head on his
knee and making vigorous efforts to
bring him to.-Boston Herald.

The Village Superintendent


Under the Sunday school Christmas tree
The superintendent stands;
A mighty earnest man is he,
With trouble on his hands,
For he has arranged programme for
Two rival mission bands.
The Merry Workers, the Infant Class,
The Choir and the Sons Of Glee,
The Burden Bearers and oh, alas,
The Mite Societee,
And the Cheerful Givers, who never pass
An inopportunitee
OF giving piece Of their minds in sass
To the superintende n l.
And every one must come in first
In reading or speech or song,
And the superintendent never burst
To make the programme long,
And every one says his show was the worst
And that everything went wrong,
Till his head and his heart are like to burs
With the Christmas chimes ding dong.

1--WE have convinced ourselves that by
telling what we know to be true, we have
produced at last a PERMANENT CONVICTION
In the public mind. Seven gears ago we
stated what the national disease of this
country was, and that it was rapidly
INCREASING. Three years ago we stated
that MARKED CHECK had been given il.
"The statistics of one of the largest life
insurance companies of this country
shows that in 1883 and 1884. the mortali-
ty from kidney disorders DID NOT INCREASE
over the previous years; other companies
stated the same thing. 1t is not pre-
sumptuous for us to claim CREDIT FOR
CHECKING these ravages.
Seven years ago we stated that the
condition Of the kidneys was the key to
the condition of health; within the past
five years ALL CAREFUL LIFE INSURANCE
companies have conceded the truth of this
statement. for, whereas. ten years ago,
chemical analysis to determine the con-
dition of the kidneys was not required,
to-day MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN RISKS ARE
REFUSED. because chemical examination
discovers UNsUsPEcTED diseases of the
kidneys.
Seven years ago we stated that the
ravages of Bright's Disease were insignif-
icant compared with other unsupported
disorders of the kidneys of many mis-
leading names; that ninety three per cent
of human ailments are attributable
to deranged kidneys. which fills the
poison, which causes these many fatal
diseases.
THE uric acid, or kidney poison, is
the real cause of the majority of cases of
paralysis apoplexy, heart disease. con-
vulsions. pneumonia, consumption, and
insanity; over HALF the victims of con-
sumption are first the victims of diseased
kidneys.
when the recent death of an honored
ex-official of the United States was an
nounced, his physician said that although
he was suffering from Bright's disease
that was NOT THE CAUSE of death. He was
not frank enough to al nit that the apo
plexy viii ch overlook him in his bed.
was the fatal effect of the kidney poison
in the blood. which had eaten away the
substance of the arteries and brain; nor
was Logan's physician honest enough to
state that his fatal rheumatism was caused
by kidney acid in the blood.

people of this country would be alarmed,
yea, nearly PANIC STRICKEN, at the fearful
mortality from kidney disorders"
